New Poorboy conversion completed
Hmmmm. I just adjusted the angle of the radiator lower pipe slightly and used a slightly longer hose. Everything goes together without a problem. :YMHUG:

I thought you used an aftermarket fan moved to the front Sundance? Wouldn't that eliminate the need to move the radiator at all? Keeping it stock?

I did indeed use a front mounted fan. However, in order to make room for the 5" pully and make sure I had room to get in there and do some work if needed, I used several spacers to move the rad forward. I think I moved it about 1". A little adjustment on the bottom of the radiator and a longer hose did the trick. If I have time later I'll post a pic.

I know what you mean dk but I have no excuse here. I used to be a heavy repair tech. at a chevy dealer and now I am a C.N.C. Machinist. But I am still having trouble with the thought of cutting on Stella.
But I know the time is comming soon getting tired of 50 miles or so trip on battery.
